The analog Niagara Kits are available as a single channel kit or a dual-channel kit. The dual-channel bundle includes an additional Osprey Video streaming capture card. To supply video and audio for both channels, ViewCast also includes a rack-mount input panel with A/V connectors for both Osprey Video capture cards.

The Niagara Kits with analog input also features a low-profile hardware design which allows for greater usability in small form factor computers, making it the ideal bundled solution for rack-mount encoding farms, custom enclosures, and other form-factor constrained environments.
